Absent something credible the "1" level is going to remain through the debt-limit deadline.

The time line on that is 30 days maximum and the risk remains until there is a credible deal or we don't there won't be. In the latter case I'll assess the likely impact before making a decision on whether to move it to "2" or "Boom"

Might be time to go to TickerCon 2 as there doesn't seem to be an immediate nuclear explosion imminent. If if we lose AAA, I doubt it will have much effect.

It's going to "2" after the vote in the Senate.

But beware, 'cause it'll go back to "1" real FAST (or maybe straight to "boom") if Europe blows.

Pika: I haven't heard that anywhere... Only thing I'm seeing is some talking head on bloomberg pretty much guaranteeing moody's and s&p will downgrade because the deal didn't meet their requirements and text at the bottom of the screen talking about fitch saying they may.

"We were looking over your loan application and we feel that you do not have enough outstanding debts for us to recommended you be approved for the best loan rates as you may be higher risk"

"What's that you say? You just went out and borrowed a huge sum of money? Well why didn't you say so?! You are approved for the best rates we offer now!"


"Good thing you didn't do anything stupid like quit borrowing huge sums of money! If you did that we of had to recommend you for a loan program with higher interest rates. Now get out there and borrow and spend, so you can continue to borrow and spend!"


At this rate Greece and Iceland should be rated AAAAAA+++

Gosh darn it - this is like waiting for Obama to speak - LMAO!

J/K Karl. I wished you Happy B-Day already today, and "un-liked" every FB page I subscribe to that wished him a good one, in your honor (as did many others I think - well maybe not in your honor, but they un-liked anyway).

Informational/Non-political FB pages should stay out of politics, but if they are that stupid, I don't care what they can teach me about my health yada yada.

BTW - can we convene an "emergency session" of TPTB and get that book to market before November? I really have a sinking feeling WE NEED TO START CIRCULATING THAT THING RIGHT NOW. Bleh :(
